I live in the suburbs of Perth in Thornlie, on the bank of the Canning River, and am lucky to have two of these amazing creatures living a few meters from my house! As Jack said they love to live in tunnels and, the council has conveniently put a couple of 10cm wide pipes in the kerb which go underground down to the river bank, about 20m long. They like to bask on the road with their body half out of the pipe but retreat very quickly when approached. I was lucky to get a good look at another one living about 100m away. It was sitting on the grass next to the cycle path and let me come very close before dropping into the grate of a shallow storm drain. I thought it may have been trapped and went to have a look. It sat happily for ages before crawling into the small pipe leading from the drain, this pipe too came out on the river bank. Very cool!Leesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254033356221335778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35150906.post-86456836885001100412008-05-28T12:47:00.000+08:002008-05-28T12:47:00.000+08:00Hi Jack,"Have a look at the fifth photo down and y...Hi Jack,<BR/><BR/>"<I>Have a look at the fifth photo down and you will see the latest set of twins with their mum.</I>"<BR/><BR/>Thanks - they were so tiny I didn't see them in that pic. Sounds like you need to set up the camera on a tripod in the appropriate location, leave it there so that the skinks become accustomed to it, then watch from afar and trigger the camera remotely when a good photo opportunity arises.<BR/><BR/>StewartStewart Macdonaldhttp://www.stewartmacdonald.com.au/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35150906.post-17118353706835248692008-05-28T10:08:00.000+08:002008-05-28T10:08:00.000+08:00Hi StewartHave a look at the fifth photo down and ...Hi Stewart<BR/>Have a look at the fifth photo down and you will see the latest set of twins with their mum. Sometimes these young ones will sit on her head making a delightful composition, but alas they are much too fast for me to get a photo.<BR/><BR/>From my experiences with these lizards around Albany, I am not surprised you did not see them. They can be quite infuriating in that regard.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments<BR/>JackEsperance Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714877215893612150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35150906.post-22801327113066856132008-05-27T19:01:00.000+08:002008-05-27T19:01:00.000+08:00Hi Jack,Great story!

I looked for this species when I was over on Rottnest Island earlier this. Despite being told that it would be virtually impossible to not see any, I didn't see any. I think there was some guy called Murphy following me around.<BR/><BR/>StewartStewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209859653530630422noreply@blogger.com
